Excel Taekwondo Center

Excel Taekwondo Center At Excel Taekwondo, we offer a safe and encouraging space for students of all ages. Our classes are fun, energetic, and educational.

The focus of our martial arts school is on physical fitness, character development, and self-defense, rather than fighting. We foster a welcoming environment for all of our students, while they learn self-discipline, develop confidence, and improve their listening and focusing skills. When you become a student, you join a community that works together toward improved physical strength and stamina,

better focus and concentration, greater self-discipline, competency in self-defense, and, increased self-confidence. Our teachers include former state, national, and international Taekwondo champions, who are dedicated to helping students achieve physical and mental fitness. The student-to-teacher ratio is low, ensuring that each student is given proper attention in class. Our facility is over 6,000 square feet and is equipped with two spacious training areas, along with ample seating for parents and spectators. We have also installed safety equipment beyond state and national requirements to best ensure our student’s health and safety. For us, the practice of martial arts means respecting each other, encouraging and supporting each other, and celebrating each other’s successes. These values are especially important in working with children and families — one of the primary foci of our martial arts school. We have martial arts programs for students of all ages. For children, our emphasis is on character development and physical fitness. With adults, our goal is to deliver all of the benefits of martial arts, including improved muscle tone, increased cardiovascular fitness, lower stress levels, increased energy, and greater flexibility. Self-defense is also emphasized, but it’s always tempered with the training on how to seek alternatives to conflict. Each of our martial arts instructors is committed to teaching the physical skills while applying attitude-shaping exercises aimed at bringing out the best character and physical potential in each student.

🥋 2026 USAT American Open West — Team Recap

A little late sharing this, but it’s too good not to celebrate.

🥇 Ethan Skinta — GOLD on June 14th. Three matches, three wins, Nationals qualified. Ethan competed without his original coach or sparring teammates, with only one teammate there to cheer him on and his father trusting him to experience the moment on his own. Taekwondo’s tenets are tested most when conditions aren’t perfect — that’s perseverance in action. Credit to Ms. Ditan for the training that built this foundation.

Two of our instructor-athletes competed too:

Mr. Santiago Sandejas competed June 13th and secured his qualification for Nationals.

Ms. Eleni Marcelino competed in both pairs and individual sport poomsae, fighting through to the round of 8 in individual before falling in the medal round.

Teach your child that the only thing worth admiring is character. Because achievement without integrity is hollow.

It's easy to get caught up in appearances — the grades, the schools, the milestones, the image of success. Sure, achievement is impressive. But without a moral compass, it loses its way.

What endures is kindness. Humility.
The ability to see others as equals.

Raise them to lead with heart, not hierarchy. To measure worth not by what they have, but by who they are — even when no one's watching.

Because in the end, what truly stands out isn't just what they achieve. It’s the kind of energy they leave behind wherever they go.

That is what makes a person truly admirable. ❤️
